Hiya,

Am thinking of getting some impreza wheels for the outback (the multispoke ones) but wondered if I would have issues with fitment. Mine has 17's on it at the minute but the tyres are a higher profile.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Cheers

so Pcd and fitment aside as long as you have the same rolling radius you will be fine so compensating for the tyre height as well as wheel diameter is a must - all impacts the speedo reading.

 

If you did go for 17" impreza wheels you would still have to retain the existing tyre profile - I dont know what profile you are currently running but it might be worth looking at 18's or 19's if you have a really high tyre wall then you could run a lower profile tyre - this does improve cornering and feel but some owners dont necessarily want the firmer ride that can come with it.

 

What tyres do you currently use?

Michelin 215/55 17

I think the impreza ones were 215/45 17's that i saw on fleabay :-)

the 45's wouldn't work on the 17's - according to alloy wheels you would be looking at 225/45 18's or 225/40 19's

Thanks jay. Will keep my eyes open for some 18's then :-)

Don't want to go as big as 19's as it might kill the ride.

Cheers

Yup agree if your running 19's you are probably looking at ridin' slow and low so its not as much of an issue :D
